Targeted cod (CodArray) gene chip: A genomic tool for evaluating the role of androgens on the growth of previtellogenic oocytes in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
Prior to vitellogenesis (previtellogenesis), androgens appear to play pivotal roles in stimulating oocyte growth. In this study, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) with subsequent array development was used to open a possible revealing window in understanding the functional aspects of oocyt...

Prior to vitellogenesis (previtellogenesis), androgens appear to play pivotal roles in stimulating oocyte growth. In this study, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) with subsequent array development was used to open a possible revealing window in understanding the functional aspects of oocyte development. We constructed a targeted cod cDNA array containing 200 differentially-expressed genes using SSH after in vitro exposure of previtellogenic gonad tissue from Atlantic cod to a mixture of androgens. The targeted CodArray was hybridized using total RNA from cod previtellogenic oocyte cultures exposed to 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) and testosterone (T) (0, 10 and 100 μM) for 5 and 10 days.
